Tip number four is to “put the washcloth in the deadbolt loop to close the gap” – the influencer demonstrates this by showing how this makes it more difficult to open.
Then, as the tips become more advanced, she says to “block the door by placing the iron board against it.”
Next, “roll up a medium-sized towel and place it behind the handle to block it.”
Finally, Victoria advises “connecting the handle and deadbolt to a hanger for added security.”
At this point, the door to his hotel room looks like a carefully crafted contraption.

Others added “And now imagine trying to get out in the dark, in a fire in the middle of the night” and “What happens if you have an emergency and need help …no one can come in to help you.”

Some agreed with Victoria’s suggestions and shared their own: One woman advised: “I take two portable locks and a mini camera that connects to my phone when I’m away.”
Others added “that’s my security level, thanks” and “get a portable door lock.” I use Addalock which I purchased on Amazon for around $20. Installation takes 2 seconds. My husband tested it and couldn’t get into it.
Meanwhile, some commenters took the situation lightly, joking “I’m trying to lock my door so my sister doesn’t come in” and “By the time I do all this, it’s morning again “.
